As we all know, Ito has always been a player with ideals and goals. She did get one of the best athletic achievements among foreign association players during the Tokyo Olympic cycle. Winning a gold, silver and a bronze medal at the Tokyo 2021 Olympic Games also looks very good. Although sometimes we feel that she has set herself too high a goal, often saying that she is confident of defeating the main players of the national table tennis team, and most of the time in the real game, she has not really achieved such a dream. But at least she completed the dream of winning the championship in the mixed doubles field of the Olympic Games, which shows that her competitiveness is still there, hard power is indeed outstanding, and the breakthrough point has been found, but in the singles field, after she spent the highlight period of 2017-2019, several mesozoic and new generation players of national table tennis did create more trouble for her, and used their achievements to prove that Ito Mimako in the singles event, and there is still a certain gap in strength between them.
However, just when we all began to think that from Chen Meng, to Wang Manyu to Sun Yingsha, and even Wang Yidi and Chen Xingtong, they could have the upper hand in front of Ito Mimako, but she once again proposed a new goal after achieving the women's doubles and women's singles championships in Japan. That is, in the new year, we must strive to be undefeated throughout the year, and put forward the hope that we can defeat Chinese masters such as Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha, and Wang Manyu to prove her hard power. Some fans immediately questioned it after seeing Ito's statement, believing that Ito might be punched in the face at next month's WTT Grand Slam. After all, the strength of Chen Meng, Wang Manyu and Sun Yingsha was there, and it was not it it that Ito Mimachi could win by shouting.
However, from another point of view, the national table tennis women's team has such an opponent as Ito Mimako, and it is also a very fortunate thing that they like to set their goals very high, and at the same time like to express the opponent. Because this will give the girls of the national table tennis women's team greater confidence and courage to improve their personal ability, help the national table tennis to guard every pass, and prevent Ito From breaking through on their own passes. Think about it, in order to participate in the Tokyo Olympics, including to be able to defeat Ito Mimachi, Ding Ning, as a Grand Slam player and former Olympic singles champion, did not hesitate to make technical changes in his career, even if this attempt ended in failure, but for the entire team of national table tennis, this is still a positive impact. It also accelerated the improvement of Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu in their overall technical capabilities. At the same time, it also allows these three players to have a better change in the temperament of the game. For example, when Chen Meng of the Tokyo Olympics advanced to the final and waited for the winners of Sun Yingsha and Ito Mimachi, the reporter asked her what kind of preparation she would make if she met with Ito Mimachi in the final, and Chen Meng said that she would win the game first and break into the final. It is obvious that Chen Meng is full of confidence in his teammate Sun Yingsha's promotion to the final, and the final result also proves this.
When it came to the World Table Tennis Championships, Ito Mimako, who had been practicing for several months, did not even wait to meet Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu, and lost in front of Wang Yidi. She also talked about what she had practiced and still hadn't really helped her make a particularly obvious breakthrough. It can be seen that Ito's style of acting is to make bold remarks first, and then move towards the goal, as to whether it can really reach the goal. Probably not the most important thing for her. But for the players of the national table tennis women's team, especially the three main players Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu, since Ito Mimachi has issued a battle book, everyone will work hard. I believe that you can use your performance on the field to give the most appropriate response to Ito.
